difficult child was prescribed intuniv today in addition to increasing her Daytrana patch from 15 to 25 mg.
He took her in his office for about 20 minutes to speak with her alone and then invited me back to talk. He said he feels she is much more impulsive and maybe somewhat hypomanic. Over the last month, she has been more talkative, harder to get to sleep at night, 2 school suspension for physical agressiveness and more oppositional with us at home.
I thought it was more due to needing an increase in her ADHD medications. She kept saying she couldn't feel her medications working.
I don't know what hypomania looks like in kids versus severe ADHD. psychiatric dr mentioned ADHD looking more static?? What does hypomania look like in 12 year old kid?
Anyone have any experience with Intuniv? She goes back to psychiatric dr in 7 weeks and if she hasn't experienced any calming, we will try Lamictal or Trileptal.
Thanks in advance for your help.
